Nine Realms Sword Emperor

"Chu Fengmian, Young Lord Xia is a man of noble status. He took your Spirit Stones, so you definitely won't lack benefits from him in the future. And it's also thanks to Young Lord Xia that you could join the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance. Taking out some Spirit Stones will be good for your future."

Protector Liu, helpless, spoke softly to Chu Fengmian.

"This… fine."

Hesitation appeared on Chu Fengmian's face. Only after a long while did he finally speak.

From Chu Fengmian's palm, a mass of Divine Grade Spirit Stones suddenly appeared. A single Divine Grade Spirit Stone was only the size of a thumb, yet this clump of Divine Grade Spirit Stones contained at least ten thousand pieces.

When he took out this mass of Divine Grade Spirit Stones, Chu Fengmian also deliberately showed a pained expression on his face.

"Bring it over."

Seeing that mass of Divine Grade Spirit Stones, a trace of greed flashed in Young Lord Xia's eyes. He could hardly wait any longer. With a wave of his hand, he directly swept that clump of Divine Grade Spirit Stones into his grasp, carefully scrutinized them a few times, then laughed loudly.

"Good, not bad. Brat, you can leave now."

After Young Lord Xia took the Divine Grade Spirit Stones, he simply waved at Chu Fengmian, not mentioning the reward at all.

"This… Young Lord Xia, what about my reward?"

Chu Fengmian stood up and looked at Young Lord Xia, speaking.

"Reward? What reward? Brat, you've only just begun to serve this young lord, and you already want a reward? Being able to serve this young lord is your honor. The fact that you could join the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance is all due to this young lord's merit, understand?"

When Young Lord Xia heard Chu Fengmian's words, his expression chilled as he reprimanded him.

"You have to go to the Nine Domains more often, seek out Treasures and offer them up. Only then will there be rewards, understand? Now hurry up and get lost!"

"Damn it!"

A trace of killing intent flickered in Chu Fengmian's heart. He wanted nothing more than to kill this Young Lord Xia on the spot. But on the surface, Chu Fengmian remained calm, seemingly fearful of Young Lord Xia's status. After a few resentful glimmers appeared in his eyes, he turned without hesitation and left the room.

"This Young Lord Xia is arrogant to the extreme, he actually dared to snatch my Spirit Stones. Sooner or later I'll find a chance to kill him. But now isn't the time to make a move. I still need to get closer to him and see whose hands that Supreme Sword Energy has fallen into!"

Chu Fengmian walked out of the palace and flew toward the direction of the Nine Domains. He was planning to return to the Nine Domains first.

Within those Divine Grade Spirit Stones he had given Young Lord Xia, Chu Fengmian had already carved a brand into them. This brand had already entered Young Lord Xia's body. Every move Young Lord Xia made was now under Chu Fengmian's control.

This Young Lord Xia's status within the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance was exalted, and he had many more chances to meet those Heavenly Human Realm ancestors of the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance.

Within this Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance, there were no less than a hundred Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses. Even now, Chu Fengmian could not recklessly barge into such a place.

Now Chu Fengmian had to first confirm his target, determine exactly which ancestor had obtained the Supreme Sword Energy. Only then could Chu Fengmian look for an opportunity to strike and seize that Supreme Sword Energy in one fell swoop.

Now that Chu Fengmian had left a restriction on Young Lord Xia's body, he himself could leave the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance and directly head to the Nine Domains to handle his own matters.

At the same time, if this Young Lord Xia encountered the ancestor who had obtained the Supreme Sword Energy, Chu Fengmian would clearly know exactly who it was.

Chu Fengmian was now a member of the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance. Returning to the Nine Domains again, his journey was smooth; no one would come to block him.

Back in that room, Young Lord Xia was still sitting on the throne, his face full of smiles as he counted the Divine Grade Spirit Stones in his hand. Beside him, that old man, Protector Liu, watched this scene, a bitter smile appearing on his face as he spoke to Young Lord Xia.

"Young Lord, what you did just now was a bit too rash. That brat will definitely bear a grudge against you."

"So what? A mere ant at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor level—if he hates me, then he hates me. Does a piece of trash like him dare oppose this young lord?"

Young Lord Xia spoke indifferently.

With his status, he didn't even put the protectors or elders of this Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance in his eyes. After all, his father was one of the Heavenly Human Realm ancestors of the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance—a son of Heaven and Man. His status was transcendent.

As for Chu Fengmian, he was merely at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor Realm, hardly worth his notice.

"No, that brat naturally doesn't have the qualification to oppose Young Lord."

Protector Liu spoke from the side.

"But that brat has so many Divine Grade Spirit Stones on him, he must have obtained some kind of treasure, perhaps even some treasure from within the Nine Domains. From the way he looked, it doesn't seem like his first time in the Nine Domains. He should have already been in the Nine Domains before and obtained some sort of treasure there, which is why he has so many Divine Grade Spirit Stones."

"Compared to a Nine Domains treasure, these Divine Grade Spirit Stones are nothing at all. If Young Lord can subdue this person, that would be the real harvest."

"Hm? A Nine Domains treasure? Are you serious? That brat really has a Nine Domains treasure in his hands?"

When Young Lord Xia heard the four words "Nine Domains treasure," the greed in his eyes burned even more hotly. Beneath that greed, killing intent was contained.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I would have killed that brat just now. A Nine Domains treasure—such a stroke of fortune should only belong to this young lord. Trash like him isn't worthy."

"Reporting to Young Lord, the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance does have its rules after all. We must not slaughter each other. Although Young Lord's status is noble, if you were to openly break the rules, it wouldn't be good. You would certainly face some punishment. To have Young Lord punished just for dealing with a brat isn't worth it."

Protector Liu's eyes flickered as he spoke.

"That brat will definitely go into the Nine Domains. It's not easy for us to make a move here in the Hundred Absolutes Star Region Alliance, but once he's in the Nine Domains, if that brat dies, then he dies—no one will know it was us who killed him."

"As long as we can kill him, all the opportunities that brat has obtained will belong to Young Lord."

"Protector Liu, you're right. Father also warned me earlier to restrain myself for a while."

Greed flashed in Young Lord Xia's eyes.

"You'll handle this matter. Follow that brat to the Nine Domains, find an opportunity, kill him directly, then bring back his Space Ring. Once it's done, you won't lack benefits."

"Yes, Young Lord."

Protector Liu agreed with a word, then exited the room, left the palace, and headed toward the Nine Domains.

"So they're actually planning to kill me?"

Chu Fengmian traversed the starry sky, flying all the way toward the direction of the Nine Domains. In his mind, every sentence of the conversation between Young Lord Xia and Protector Liu just now rang clear as day.
